I have the same problem, how do we educate the ones who see a name the same as ours and combine without checking dates, wives, children etc.  It is so frustrating and I feel your pain.  I can only hope that Family Tree with time will develop the tools to separate completely these wrong names that have been combined.  I still can not get the ordinances back on the record for my family, but I do have the correct names together and their children, but the other husbands and wives are still showing, mainly because the mergers sealed my great great grandfather to women he never knew.  He only had one wife and 12 children and they have him with 3 or 4 wives and his wife with 5 husbands, some born in the 1600s.  I'm as frustrated with this problem as you are and Family Search must be too.  I just don't understand why it is such a complicated thing to simple take the wrong people off the record. But, I am not a computer scientist, so will wait and see.  I know it is all done correctly and the Lord knows, Good luck to us all, with these glitches and please educate the patrons as to merging and the damage it does when done wrong.

We reviewed your records in  new.FamilySearch first and found John MacCord, 1680,PID: 9WH4-HB6 combined  with William McCord, 1760. There are 98 combined records and only #1, and  #41, are for John McCord, the rest are for William McCord. This same  information has carried through to Family Tree, in small family groups, and is  more obvious. Thank you for  the offer of Family Group sheets, they would need to have documented evidence  to support them It  would be helpful if you listed William McCord, his PID, and his three wives  names and their PID’s , plus the children for each wife, separate.   Also, who William McCord’s  correct parents are. With this information we will review your  records further. Please reply directly to this email by using your email  reply function instead of creating a new email to ensure your email comes  directly back to us. We will try to assist you further.
